The Born Loser began in 1965 as a strip with no central characters that revolved around the loser theme. Gradually, it developed into the comic we see today, starring lovable loser Brutus Thornapple, his wife Gladys, mother-in-law Ramona Gargle, boss Rancid Veeblefester, dim-witted son Wilberforce and the mischievous neighbor Hurricane Hattie O'Hara.
Artist Chip Sansom began apprenticing for his father, Born Loser creator Art Sansom, in 1977. He became a full-time assistant, and gradually took on an ever-increasing role in the drawing and gag-writing duties until his father passed away in 1991.

Evidently, you haven’t been doing your job very well “coach.”

That’s the lost ball rule in golf
When it stops rollin’, pick it up

Once in Little League, I made a nice running catch in the outfield. I was so proud of myself, I forgot the situation and, for a moment, didn’t understand why everyone on my team was yelling at me to throw the ball. Luckily the runner on third didn’t think I was going to catch it and had run halfway to home and had to run back to third to tag up so I still had time to make a completely accidental perfect throw to home to get the out.
